has anyone loaded ymessenger onto a mandriva system... i'm interested in doing it but not if i'm the first as my system is working like a dream and i'm not in the mood for debugging...

You'd probably be better off just using a Linux IM client that supports the Yahoo protocol, since most "official" Linux messaging clients from people like AOL and Yahoo are half-cocked and buggy attempts to just say "we've got a Linux client, now leave us alone." I recommend GAIM or Kopete.

Out of these 2, GAIM is better. It has a MultiMessenger feature so you don't need to log off your user so that, let's say, your sister can use it .

I've got so used to it I even usethe windows version sometimes...

got to reply...yes i ended up settling on gaim 1.5.?
gaim 2 seems a bit limited in some ways...
kopete was what i was using but not bothered with it now...

now about sisters...hmmm...i wouldnt let her near my pc...
as for my pc, my ex b/f wouldnt even touch it...but i have fixed his a few times...
i'm the linux geek and they all use windows....
they havent converted yet but i think they just dont listen to me...
too use to me carrying on about pc's...goes in one ear and out the other...
my son loves linux so thats a bonus...when he's older, i dont know how he will be with teachers in his computer class's, probably tell them...lol...
thanks for the replies....
